God never said anything that wasn’t spoken or written by man.
Allowing that all or some of these words of God may actually be divinely inspired, we must also consider that the human filter or conduit of this information can only express the thought at the level of his own education and consciousness.
Therefore, I like to keep an open mind about all of this.
Today’s facts are changed with each new scientific study as well, so let’s not get all smug about science or education, which evolves as well with our experience and ability to understand it.
So, perhaps God did not stop speaking. We may have stopped listening.
We stopped listening when it became the subject of ridicule. We stopped listening when science stared down religion with cold hard facts. And for its part, organized religion fought back, punishing those who disputed its tenets. In some civilizations this still goes on.
Both science and religion need to evolve as our capacity to understand grows. The most efficient way to do this is to become learned in both!
I keep an open mind, because life is never ending, and so thought must never cease.
There is a great depth of spiritual inspiration and information in the religious holy books. I delve into this to feed my soul. This inspires me to improve and in turn uplift and support others. I keep up with maths, science, and technology because it feeds my mind, and literally puts food on the table.
The world exists in the realm of spacetime, where nothing ever stays the same. Sometimes we get tired and just stop learning. That is when it’s time to rest. Rest your mind and body, but listen to the quiet. That is when God speaks.
You will know it when your thoughts become a shadow of his light.
